Improving development over ssh?


Recently I got involved in some web project development on a remote server. As for this moment, I'm OK with coding using nano over ssh, which truly is ok. But while I handle it just fine, I also think it would be more efficient to work with a proper GUI ide.

I couldn't find the solution searching google, so i decided to state my question here.

Do you familiar with a way that I can write the code locally, and automatically sync any changes to the file on my server (or any similiar solution)?

I guess it would be helpful to provide my environment details, so my presonal laptop runs Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop LTS with GNOME shell, and my server runs Ubuntu 16.04 Server LTS.

Thanks in advance! :)


Solution

  • I would use samba (or similar) to mount the remote server file system to your local desktop system. Then you can browse files on the server and edit them with all the tools available to you on your local machine.
